Yes. I wish every American would read Veblen's Theory of the Leisure Class. I also really wish people would read Karl Polanyi's The Great Transformation. It's so weird that someone like Ramaswamy can spend so much time talking about lack of meaning and (though he doesn't use the Marxist lingo) anomie, but fail understand how laissez faire leads to exactly that kind of social pathology.
